Re: generic list of public data sources

Thanks Li, Owen and Jonathan

I'm well aware that there are several sites listing the actual more or 
less open data sources like the data.gov and CKAN

I am looking a general topic list that would guide me that in my country 
there are most propably some organization holding data about this, this 
and this. Ofcourse I can compile the list by going trough the existing 
data catalogues... The Owens detailed categorization was good for the 
statistical data, but statistical data is just one branch in the owerall 
picture... what about the register of "Alcholo licences in a city" or 
something more weird but usefull.

Just to give you an idea i drafted out of my head a MindMap that I would 
like to develope to cover the full picture.

All resource links are wellcome
